Deal alert / Leonard Cohen: The Complete Studio Albums Collection

By Paul Sinclair

A fantastic price for a fantastic collection of music. Leonard Cohen‘s The Complete Studio Albums Collection was issued in 2011 and is an 11 CD set that takes listeners from 1967’s Songs of Leonard Cohen all the way to 2004’s Dear Heather.

At the time of writing you can get this set for an almost embarrassingly low £18 from Amazon UK. Of course, the title is rather inaccurate now, given Cohen’s recent work rate, but nonetheless a great deal!

  1. A good spot…thanks for heads up. You also get an unexpected 12th album (Old Ideas) with Amazon’s auto-rip making it even better value !!

  2. Kept thinking of buying this last month and finally went for it last week.
    In itself I was thinking all of Cohen’s studio albums for around £18 is a bargain but I wasn’t expecting the clarity that the remastering has brought out.
    If you like Leonard Cohen this is a no- brainer!

  4. The masterings are uniformly solid on this box set. You do lose a handful of bonus songs that found their way on the first three albums’ reissues.

    There is a larger box set that includes all of his live output as well, though that has been out of print for a while.

    1. The box with the 6 live albums goes for over $300 with some sellers, which is just ridiculous…and it’s not even complete, missing his final trio of albums as well as Live in London which is a triple with a DVD/BluRay…is it going to be updated?? One live album included, Songs From The Road or Isle Of Wight…isn’t there a DVD part of it thats missing from the box?? Which might be why…am I better off getting the studio box only and get the live stuff separately or wait for an updated set??

  6. I have this set, and it’s excellent in most regards.

    My only issue is with the music itself. Cohen’s early works are truly marvelous, deep, sensual, touching. However mid-career he hit a bare patch, and it’s nowhere near as good. I’d say half this set is essential, the other half not so much.

    Just my opinion of course. It’s good to have them all, who knows, I may get into the ones I don’t like eventually.

  8. Amazon : “AutoRip is available only to customers with billing addresses in the United Kingdom who have a United Kingdom bank-issued credit card associated with their Amazon.co.uk account.”

    That’s a shame! And the price went up to £19,81 = postage to the Netherlands…. Still cheap but not what expected.

  9. Not really a fan of the artist, but what a cheap price to discover such an iconic artist’s complete discography!
    According to many feedbacks on Amazon, the remastering sounds stunning!
    Thanks for the alert!! :)

  11. Picked this up a couple of days ago for about £21.00 which I thiught was a steal. Amazon Autorip included so straight to my iPad. Haven’t stopped listening since. Great collection.

  12. Clarification on pricing–this is actually £18 TOTAL shipped to your door in the US (unit cost is £15 and change). Currently just over $29 all in.
